Those who are looking for will definitely find a reliable and friendly travel company - Trip 500 Book a cruise on the AROYA from Istanbul via the Suez Canal to Saudi Arabia (Jeddah, Al-Ula, Riyadh) My family and I also decided to fulfill our long-held dream of traveling to Jordan. For several months, I searched various websites for travel companies that could arrange for us on strictly designated days - a 10-day combined group tour of Jordan's historical sites and an individual vacation in Aqaba on the Red Sea. Among the numerous expensive and inconvenient offers for us, there was a single offer from Trip 500, which fully satisfied all our wishes and offered a very reasonable price. Jordan Tour (Amman, Jerash, Petra, Wadi Rum, Mount Nebo, Madaba, Dead Sea, Aqaba, Red Sea) it was perfectly organized in a comfortable minibus, accompanied by a professional guide. Accommodation during the entire trip was in 5-star hotels. We would like to especially thank the Trip 500 employee Mohannad Alshafi, whose attentive, patient and friendly attitude made our wonderful trip to Jordan possible. We strongly recommend Trip 500 to anyone who wants to travel without problems and at a reasonable price! We wish Trip 500 continued prosperity, success in business, many new grateful travelers, and health, happiness, good luck, and well-being to all employees.

The best value way to travel Jordan and the best way to see the country. Jordan is always safe for travel. Choose Trip500 and go We did a personally designed package for 9 days in Jordan with a driver but no guide (except for Petra). Mohannad worked very hard with us to plan a trip that suited our needs. It was great to have such personalised service and local information. The tour was excellent from the time we were picked up from the airport in Amman to when we were dropped off at Aqaba Airport.Our driver was very competent and always cracking jokes. All the drivers are very good and lovely.We had an amazing trip and Trip500 will be our number 1 choice for touring in Jordan. It's a wonderful country with exceptional people. It's very safe (like the Switzerland of the Middle East) and we were very comfortable travelling Jordan whilst Israel was still attacking other countries. It's a great time to go as the tourism numbers are less.

We did a private 6-day tour of Jordan, and the agency arranged everything for us.Our driver, Khaled, was extremely helpful and informative, always providing us with important insights and making sure we felt comfortable throughout the journey. He answered all our questions with patience and was very friendly, which made our holiday even more enjoyable.We can only highly recommend this agency.

Jordan should be in everyone’s bucket list! Our 5days family trip to Jordan was a great one and special shoutout to Trip500 for planning it all. Our guide (Abdul) & driver (Mohammad) were generous in sharing with us the history of Jordan (Jerash, Petra, Mount Nebo). I highly recommend engaging them for your trip to Jordan. And it is definitely safer than we thought with all that is happening.
